I am guessing your are right. Trying to get brave enough to try it myself.
Too funny! Puddling works best for me too. I find it difficult to work with it rolled. Sometimes I do a combination usually of folding/puddling.
After I spray baste a large quilt, I machine baste it with water soluable thread a few times in each direction. It helps hold it together better for me. I don't have a sewing room, so mine gets bounced around alot. This saves me from respraying the edges after all the handling. Once the quilt is done, I wash it and the basting dissolves. It works great!
I love the idea of the water soluable thread. I'll give that a try on my next large quilt. I tend to like the larger quilts. I like to puddle my larger quilts. I tried rolling and clips, but for me puddling works better. I will say it's quite a workout wrestling all that fabric around! I'm always sore in my upper back and arms. That's probably a good thing, LOL.
